I hate that people on the left are pushing me more and more to Trump's side.

0:30 in video:

Trump: Again, Christians, get out and vote! Just this time! You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed; It'll be fine.
What this video doesn't show is that Trump previously talked about how Christians have a low voting rating and he's asking them to vote this one time as he will fix the country and then they can go back to not voting.

The hyperbole is that he could fix the US in 4 years. That isn't happening. Wish we could have good-faith criticisms of Trump as there are many.

Why would no one ever have to vote again? Elections are still going to be a thing.
"No one" implies he's referring to everyone in the pool of voters. He never said or implied "no one" OTHER than Christians would need to vote again because he'll fix the country. Previously in this speech he spoke of the low voter turnout for Christians and was encouraging them again to get out and vote this one time.

Is he being hyperbolic? Yes. Is he "admitting" he intends on staying president until he dies? No.

I guess you're proving NightTwister correct. I'll try again...

Trump only referred to the Christians who don't vote when he said "You'll never have to vote again." Earlier in his speech, he was talking about Christians having a low voter turnout. This clip expands on his appeal for Christians, specifically, to get out and vote this ONE time.

He's being hyperbolic in saying he's going to fix this country in 4 years, so much so that the typical non-voting Christian won't need to vote again. Do you understand now?

Does that make sense?
Yeah, that's dumb. If Christian stopped voting, Republicans would never win another election

I agree. Hence, he's being hyperbolic. We all know he doesn't really believe this... but let's not pretend like he's admitting that he'll stay in power indefinitely once he wins re-election.

I do agree Trump enables the left to do this by continuing to be hyperbolic. All one has to do is splice up a clip, such as the one in the OP, and push a bad faith narrative. I don't think he cares.

For the sake of argument, let's say Trump meant they would never have to vote again because he's going to fix everything. Really, he's going to fix everything? It's hard to believe there are actually adults who swallow this nonsense. Maybe Trump himself doesn't believe it but he knows there are a lot of people out there who do.

He's talking to people who never vote. He needs them this one time. You're taking one sentence out of context and making it say what you want it to say because you hate the man.

I’m not sure I understand your response.You’re right It wouldn’t be democratic and Donald Trump wouldn’t need votes If he were a dictator.
Kamala Harris got zero votes, yet will be the Democrat nominee for President. That's not Democratic, but somehow you don't seem to have a problem with that.

Ok Thanks,I got a better understanding now.He was telling Christians that he only has 4 years In office and he would be gone after that 4 years whether they vote or not ,so this will be the last time they would have to be able to vote for him.

Look at the context. He's talking specifically to people who've never voted and says he needs them this one time. It doesn't mean what you want it to mean.
Oh, I thought they had finally figured out how to live forever.
